Cringe me your best shot

For me i can look at honorific photos or watch scary movies but you turn on one of those really bad embarrassing movies like american pie or superbad and i find myself pausing the movie going oh god oh god what the **** is he doing! It's like worse then physical pain. What's your cringe?

Surely you mean children 'full stop'. The extraa stop is superfluous.

It could be 'Popeye' bluto.

But then where's the room for comedy?

Any RTE production.

mp3guy · 06-10-2009 8:10am

The Office (UK) is the king of this. Also Peep Show isn't far off.

Rylan · 06-10-2009 8:40am

The scene from Bruno when he is at the psychic. :eek::eek::eek:

AnonoBoy · 06-10-2009 8:48am

My life right up until............ now!

KilOit · 06-10-2009 8:49am

Parts of Extra's had me cringing, can vouch for Peep Show aswell, legend of a show.

happyfriday · 06-10-2009 8:57am

The Office.

The audition process of any of shows like the Xfactor. (Can't actually bare to watch them)

Then there are loads that are cringy in a way that makes me want to be sick i.e 'Fair City' 'Emmerdale' 'The Late Late Show' and anything which involves Gerry Ryan and Ray D'arcy, and lots, lots more but can't think of them all!!

NedTermo · 06-10-2009 9:22am

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Watch every episode looking through my fingers.

The Office US
The Office UK
Extras
The Apprentice Ireland
Dragons Den Ireland
Fair City

The Davestator · 06-10-2009 10:06am

Any hidden camera type show like Annonymous or Hidden Camera - the stuff people do just bacause they are told to.

Alan Partridge - the King of Cringe

K-Ren · 06-10-2009 10:58am

Fawlty Towers, no matter how many times I see an episode.

Neamhshuntasach · 06-10-2009 10:58am

Paedophile shít. I just can't watch it and makes me so uneasy. Movies like The Woodsman and One Hour Photo. They just give me a weird feeling. Even films that don't have that theme but show some old dude getting close to a kid. Like Half Nelson, he just wanted to help the girl but kept coming off like he wanted to help him the feckin dirty fecker.

One Hour Photo is hardly a pedo film, Little Children is another uncomfortable film to watch but it's very good.

LaMortis · 06-10-2009 11:12am

Leonardo Di Caprio. Even his voice makes me cringe.

Daroxtar · 06-10-2009 11:37am

Gavin Lambe Murphy. He's like having your eyelashes pulled off while having a catheter inserted.

Everything about Robin Williams character screamed paedophilic traits. That's what Romanek was using to create the tension. I mean the theme of it is what makes me cringe. I wouldn't be watching anything if it was showing straight up acts of it.

The pedo in family guy weirds me out so much.

RossFixxxed · 06-10-2009 1:21pm

The Irish Apprentice, oh good god. I would have said anything Steve Coogan does, but this is just so much worse. It's an absolute horror show. It's like being brought through a concentration camp.

Love2love · 06-10-2009 1:49pm

Watching those twins on the x factor. Good god what the hell are they doing on TV???

Novella · 06-10-2009 1:54pm

The accents in that wonderful series RTE made, Pure Mule.

Also, hearing this from my mother, "I, eh, take it from those, um, marks on your neck that you're, eh, you know, experimenting, eh, with the opposite sex now so eh.... You know you can get pregnant and em, be careful, respect yourself and eh, no more of those!". I'M TWENTY, I KNOW!!!!!!!

1 Lucozade sports adverts pitched at GAA lovers.
2 TV licence adverts.
3 Sile Seoige and her massive eyebrows.
4 Up for the match thats on the night before all ireland finals.

That Head and Shoulders ad, the one "Don't break up with your hair" where the guy is playing piano with a "Cousin It" lookalike thingy. It makes my skin crawl!

Osgoodisgood · 06-10-2009 5:23pm

Just looking at the "live" audience at the Late Late Show makes me want to hide behind the couch. The show itself is enough to make a trip to the dentist seem like a welcome diversion but god help me, the vacant staring faces of those gormless muppets is just too much.

The same comments apply to the Winning Streak audience but as it's exactly the same people, this time with their top button undone and a scary grin etched onto their moronic boats, I think the point is probably mute.
